LESSON FIFTEEN:
“OUR BODIES AS LIVING SACRIFICES”
Follow the example set by Christ and you will
discover the path set before every follower of Christ.
Look at the steps Christ took and you will find the
steps God expects a Christian to take.
Modern-day Christianity is all too willing to let Christ
do all the dying, denial, and cross bearing. Study
well what Paul has recorded in Romans as being a
path to follow that was first walked by Christ.
CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED… “HE HAS APPEARED TO PUT
HE WAS BURIED… AWAY SIN BY THE SACRIFICE
HE WAS RAISED…
OF HIMSELF… CHRIST WAS
MY OLD MAN WAS OFFERED ONCE TO BEAR
CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, THE SINS OF MANY”
THAT THE BODY OF SIN
MIGHT BE Heb. 9:26-28
DONE AWAY WITH,
THAT I SHOULD NO LONGER “…PRESENT
BE A SLAVE OF SIN… YOUR BODIES A LIVING
BAPTIZED IN CHRIST…
I AM UNITED TOGETHER SACRIFICE, HOLY,
IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS ACCEPTABLE TO GOD…
DEATH…
I AM RAISED Rom. 12:1
IN THE LIKENESS OF
HIS RESURRECTION TO “…PRESENT YOUR
WALK IN NEWNESS OF MEMBERS AS SLAVES OF
LIFE
RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR
HOLINESS… Rom. 6:19
“THEREFORE
DO NOT LET SIN REIGN
IN YOUR
MORTAL BODY,
THAT YOU SHOULD
OBEY IT IN ITS LUSTS.”
Rom. 6:12
